Marlins and Rays in First

Mark April 5, 2008 down on your calendar. There haven't been many cases of the Marlins and Rays both being in first place at the same time. According to our trusty statistician, it happened on nine other days, all in April:

Tampa Bay 1-0

April 3, 2002:
Florida 1-1
Tampa Bay 2-0

April 11, 2004:

How many days will it last in 2008? We'll be following along closely, our Florida pride swelling to new heights.

One day later, neither is in first now. Probably isn't going to last beyond that day. The Rays might be more likely. They're the better team.
